This sub is for sharing and discussing tattoo designs, whether it's your own tattoo, work you've done, or asking for opinions about a tattoo you want to get.

All tattoos must be by a professional unless you're asking how to cover up a past mistake, scratching/unprofessional tattoos aren't welcome here.

#Post requirements

All posts must include commentary/discussion, this is not only a place to share pictures. If you just want to share your ink, check out r/tattoo and r/tattoos. 

**Required:**
          
* The artist and their shop name (if you found the image online, please do an image search to find the artist.)   
* Explain the idea behind the design   
* Whether or not you're happy with it (not required if you're asking advice for a future tattoo) 
        
**More suggestions for info you can add:** 
        
* Any technical difficulties that came into play when getting / giving it   
* The tattoo styles / artistic currents / cultural elements / personal experiences that influenced it   
* Concept sketches, etc.

If your post doesn't contain the above information, it'll be removed and you'll be asked to revise your post. 

#Rules   

**1. Stay civil and keep comments about the tattoo(s).**   

   * Unnecessarily rude comments will be removed and possibly earn you a tempban.   
   * ANY comments made on personal appearance or user's body will lead to a permanent ban.

**2. Don't only add pictures, add some commentary.**  
 
   * Please see the posting requirements listed above.   

**3. No price discussions.**   

   * All artists charge differently, and trying to shop for cheap tattoos is how you'll end up with bad ones. Find a local artist and ask for a consultation.

**4. Don't encourage scratching or unprofessional work.**   

   * This sub is for professional work only. The only loophole to this is if you're asking for coverup ideas.   

**5. Credit the artist.**   

* You must add your artist's info into your post or it'll be removed, and you'll be asked to repost with the proper information. Please see the posting requirements listed above.

**6. Don't claim other people's photos/work as your own.**   

* If you steal a post for free karma or try claiming someone else's art is yours, you'll be permanently banned.

**7. Your account needs to be 20 days old with at least 20 combined karma.**   

* To prevent bots and spam, we have age requirements. Messages asking to bypass this rule will be ignored.

**8. Don't spam. No promotions/advertising other than artist's info.**   

* Don't spam posts or comments. 
* Artist social media can be shared but no advertising or promotion. No memes, contests, surveys, giveaways, sales, money-raising events, or any kind of porn ads.

**9. NSFW must be tagged, including scars. No fresh blood. No medical questions.**

* Tag appropriate NSFW and content warning- Nudity, scars, and tattoos containing gore. 
* No fresh blood, this includes blood caught under bandages like SecondSkin. 
* Medical questions need to be asked in r/tattooadvice.

**10. No asking for art, or offering to draw tattoos.**

* This isn't a sub to hire artists or try to get free art. Research local artists and hire them, it's part of their job to help you with the design.   
* This also isn't a sub to find clients.   
* Posts asking for art or offering to draw for people will be removed. If you really must get a sketch of your idea, check out r/DrawMyTattoo.
